C is a semi-cylindrical retaining band or bail pivotally or hingedly secured at the ends thereof, '0, to the lens-holding rim upon either side of the meeting edges of said rim. This retaining band is provided with a boss or ridge, 0, which engages a groove in the rim C, (Fig. i) and by frictional engagement is held in place when the device is as sembled.

When the lens is to be placed in the rim or removed, the retaining band, C, is raised, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2, and the rim expanded circumferentially, which reedge of the eye cup.

Openings, E, are provided in the elongated end of each of theeye cups, throughwhich are secured the endsof an elastic band, E, which extends around thehead ofthe wearer to hold thefgoggles in place when worn.

A flexible nose piece connects each pair of eye cups by beinglinked with the tongues, a. The nose piece in this instance is formed of link members, 6, extending through a resilient,,flexible easing, a whichrests upon the nose of the wearer.

1. In a goggle, lens-holding cups formed by bending the frames thereof into the form of a cylinder with themeeting edges overlapped, means for adjusting said overlapping, edges circumferentially and 1 securing thesame together, a lens in each of said eye cups, and a nose piece connecting each pair of lens-holding cups. 7 r

2. In a goggle, lens-holdingcups compris ing a cylinder elongated. on one side in a line diagonal to theaxis, each of said cylinders being adjustable circumferentially, meansv for retaining a lens in each of said cylinders, and means for retaining the lenses in place by frictional engagement.

3. In a goggle, lens-holding cups, each comprising a cylinder having one side elongated on a line diagonal to the axis, each of said cylinders being adjustable, circumferentially, a lens in eachof said cylinders, a retaining band movablysecured in the periph-' ery of each cylinder whereby the lens in each cylinder is heldin fixed position, and a flexible connection between each pair of eye cups.

I. In a goggle, a pair of lens holding cups, each comprising a cylinder having one side elongated on a llne'diagonal to the axis, each 7 of said cylinders being adjustable circumferentially, a lens in each cylinder, a retainmeeting edges of the cylinder overlapping and having a tongue extending at right angles thereto, and a flexible nose piece engaging each of said projecting tongues, substantially as described.

6. Ina goggle, a pair of lens-holding cups, each comprisinga cylinder having one side elongated on a line diagonal to the axis, said elongated side being provided with a plurality of apertures therethrough, said cylinders being adjustable circumferentially, the meeting edges of each cylinder overlapping, a pin or projection extending from one side of the overlapping edges into an opening formed in the opposite side, a retaining ring movably secured to the peripheral edge of the cylinder and adapted to close said cylinder around the edge of the lens and hold the same by frictional engagement.

7. In a goggle, thecombination of a pair of lens-holding cups, each elongated on one ROBERT MALCOM.
